text: UV-Vis absorption SEC is a recent technique that is continuously evolving. However, many advantages have been observed over other techniques. The most outstanding advantages are:
  * It generates a large amount of information about the systems.
  * Generally, solvents are not a problem when carrying out these kinds of measurements.
  * The wavelength selection generates specificity in the measurement of each species.
  * Currently, there are commercial devices that allow carrying out a large number of experiments with high reproducibility.
  * The kinetics of the reactions can be studied.
  * It is used to determine a large number of electrochemical and optical parameters.
  * Trilinear signals are obtained.
  * Small amounts of sample can be analyzed.
  * Faradaic current can be separated from non-faradaic current in an electrode process.
  * It is more specific than electrochemistry.
  * Quantitative information can be obtained.
  UV-Vis absorption SEC has been used mainly in different research fields such as:
  * Sensor development.
  * Reaction mechanisms.
  * Diffusion and adsorption processes.
  * Characterization of compounds.
  * Study of biological interest substances.
  * Study of optical and electrical materials properties.
  * Study of liquid/liquid interfaces.
  * Study and synthesis of nanomaterials.
  * Evaluation of reaction parameters in which electron transfer occurs.
